A Faulkner County jury convicted a Conway man of capital murder in the death of a father who had gone to help his daughter with a flat tire.

The circuit court jury deliberated about 90 minutes before returning the verdict against 40-year old Sammie Thomas Jr. in the September 2016 shooting death of 66-year old Robert Lee Givens also of Conway.

Thomas was sentenced to life in prison without parole by Judge Charles Clawson Jr.
